Description
Silk is a poignant tale of obsession and longing. In 19th-century Japan, a French merchant named Hervé Joncour becomes entangled in a mysterious relationship with a beautiful concubine, whose presence is felt but not seen. A note from her is the only connection he has to her, and it is only when he returns to his own country that he is drawn into a world of desire and possession. The story is a subtle and tender exploration of the human heart, where the boundaries between love and obsession are blurred. With its evocative prose and nuanced characters, Silk is a haunting and unforgettable read. This edition of Silk is published in English and features 160 pages, making it a compact and accessible introduction to this thought-provoking novel.
